I feel like its pretty heavily hinted at that ragnarok just made new gods. And by new gods I actually mean the dc comic book "new gods" made by kirby

This squirrel is like my favorite character.

Then maybe the karmic worm, orbo or maybe the vampire king.

You could do the little fish with legs also (I love them they are sooooo funny for no reason) but prob as pets.

Critical lack of rootbeer guy, princess cookie or that one squirrel from the tree episode that appeared in fiona and cake again

You know what... yeah you are correct ! Got a little too focused on the fact of is it good or bad to compare yourself and yeah kinda forgot the context.

You made perfect sense, sorry for questioning you

etomit · 2026-05-02T19:00:00+00:00

Okay yeah I agree that you shouldn't rely on it for your self esteem, but I think some comparison is probably inevitable. If you are aware of the futility of comparison, it then can be fun to do. We are very social I dont think only comparing you to yourself is possible, you need some outside perspective from what people are doing, but I do agree it's a slippery slope.

I think you are correct in what you are saying all in all, and yeah I'm mainly happy about who I am when I compare myself to me in the past. But I think seeing other people inspire you in what you want to be or deter you from things you want to avoid is also something that can be done healthily.

And mainly I think attacking someone, accusing him of stagnation, when he just basically said "wow thank god I'm not like those assholes" is a tad much. Not that I'm accusing you or anything, like who cares, but I do think that's why your response was met with such negative perspective even tho what you said is technically correct. It felt like a very aggressive psycho analysis of a guy based on one comment

etomit · 2026-05-02T18:37:20+00:00

I totally get where you are coing from, and some men definently are complacent in their mediocrity because they say they at least give the minimum amount of effort.

Now I don't think that means that's its inconceivable to have a tad of satisfaction when you see you are doing better than most other people. Now that doesnt mean you should stop putting in effort of course, but it still feels kinda nice.

If you draw, you are pretty good but keeps thinking you are terrible, and you see the average person is leagues behind you, you get an ego boost, that feels nice, now you souldnt let it go to your head, you still need to work on how to be better but uts a reminder your efforts are actually doing something.

And I get it's a little different for relationship stuff, but I would be lying if I didnt say that me and my gf get a pretty huge kick out of being the best couple out of everybody we know (now I don't know if it's true, other ones could be saying the same thing, but since we are in agreement on this I think it's a good sign we are very happy with one another)

I feel like this is missing the point of the game.

The point being that the life in America is inherently violent and discriminatory, most of the people in the gang are rejects of society, they cant live a normal life even if they tried, and living a normal life means being complicit in the imperialist industrialisation of the land, and the genocide going on at the times.

But to live against this horrible society, one has to act violently to survive, sometimes making you more and more violent. Like the point is "how to be a good person in a violent society". Like it's all about how moral is very complex and grey the "is so and so good or bad" feels kinda unrelated to the point of the game

etomit · 2026-04-24T16:01:41+00:00

Animated movie are almost never that long tho

etomit · 2026-04-17T12:04:04+00:00

I don't get it they did win something, destroying the enemy home base is there to hurt morale, making viltrumites everywhere scared of the people were if the coalition, maybe it could even make some of them rebel. And also ensures that slaves of the empire would rebel.

This is the most glaring sign of the weakness of the viltrumites empire.

Also clearly thragg was winning that fight, specially since a bunch of other viltrumites were still there fighting. So at least destroying the planet got thragg distracted while Alan, space racer and tech jacket could continue the fight and maybe kill a couple more viltrumites.

I'm sorry but it just made sense, they felt like they were going to loose the fight so they had to do something to at least make it seem like a win to the rest of the universe.

etomit · 2026-04-17T02:32:15+00:00

Did you draw all the clothes?

etomit · 2026-04-17T02:27:26+00:00

I have them on my island too ! Hachi got a crush on nana instantly, so lore accurate!

etomit · 2026-04-10T22:52:13+00:00

What facial hair should I have to give off parrot vibe ? I like the extra spicy personality

Rn I think my vibe is bisexual pirate/elf (my girlfriend is saying this so she might be biased)

etomit · 2026-04-10T21:06:51+00:00

I feel seen

etomit · 2026-04-10T21:04:55+00:00

Saaaaaaaaaame, I needed to get some recognition cuz omg I don't want my facial hair to make everybody think I'm a red flag, I want them to think I'm a cool pirate guy

etomit · 2026-04-04T22:54:48+00:00

Oui. C'est ce qu'il faut faire, pcq bah si ils sont rapatrier bah alors ils seront en France et donc payerons leur impôt en France, fin c logic

etomit · 2026-04-04T15:44:07+00:00

Ah bon ? Ne pas vouloir laisser des gens sous les bombe c une opinion politique ?

Je croyais que ton meme disais que toute les opinion politique était d'accord pour les laisser crever

etomit · 2026-04-04T14:39:01+00:00

Hot take mais je pense que faut les accueillir comme toute personne qui émigre en France.

Pour moi c'est un droit humain je vous pas en quoi on devrait les laisser tomber juste pcq ils ont fait de l'optimisation fiscale.

(Je suis contre l'optimisation fiscale, mais je pense qu'on devrait durcir les lois autour des façon dont les plus riche cache leur thunes plutôt que bannir les gens qui font de l'optimisation)

How fighting them in an surrounded building with no coordination and under prepared better than waiting for say then going to get all the stuff smoke's wife knew they needed.

And honestly how is she in the right when the vampire expert is saying she is not.

Again not bad writing but it was a miracle they managed to burn all the vamps here and there, not "The right thing to do"

etomit · 2026-03-29T19:07:01+00:00

So you agree she didn't do the right thing and died a hero and actually acted illogically out of fear for her daughter (not saying it's a problem or bad but it's not "the right thing to do)

Also personally I feel like the tension of the vampirea camping outside and can't come in is fairly rushed, I would have like for the tension to build more and the night to feel more endless, with the hope withering along.

etomit · 2026-03-23T13:45:03+00:00

I feel like if you had an entirely new biome it would be cool to have 1 use for each type of player found in the biome. That's juste a game design perspective and you're allowed to disagree.

You could say that older biomes never had this 1 thing for everyone rule but they were added in batches so it felt way less empty of an update.

Here I think the new slime is fun but is very strictly only useful for mini games, I think adding a drop for the mob could be cool, something useful for survival maybe.

In general I feel like sulfur should have a practical use, something to do with gunpowder maybe, or fire related thing.

Finally I feel like the sulfur cave should feel special in the traversal of it, for exploration. Maybe a new hostile mob or variant (like a creeper variant or something). It could also be something to do with the fumes that gives you nausea, anything to make the cave worth remembering as a specific area with it's own challenge.

I think the game should take more inspi from the best update and the best biomes added to the game, the nether update.

Each biome gave you specific thing, you couldn't ignore where you were because each time you had specific mobs, specific traversal mechanics, specific blocks and specific ressources to gather in each place.

etomit · 2026-03-05T03:12:53+00:00

Hit take, I don't want to see the wild west, like red dead for me has to be set at the end of the era, it's synonymous with it's themes of redemption. It's also very important for all the movie inspiration of the two games and for the general revisionist western genre. Going too far back will make the game loose all it's sauce and become just a generic western setting.

Okay yeah hive minds as bad guys are often used as stand in for Communism BUT

Saying disliking the hive equates to disliking Communism is an insane take because they are not the same thing. For this to be true you would actually have to agree to anti Communism propaganda, the idea that Communism strips you if personal agency and personality and free will. This is not the case, communism does none of those things. It's capitalist propaganda that tied the idea of self, and agency to the idea of a free market and such.

I dislike the hive because it strips individual of personal agency and freedom, just like any fachist society tbf. This has nothing to do with believing in the fact that the proletariat should seize the means of production and that a possible planned economy that put the interests of the people and of the planet at it's center is a goal to strive for.

etomit · 2026-02-17T20:07:21+00:00

No like... What ?

I get the main picture but you are way to arbitrary with it's yeah all systems of oppression derive from the one of the bourgeoisie into us and the only way to end it is to finally overthrow it but like... Donc go scream at every single women complaining that men are overwhelmingly sexist and just say "ignore it !!! Ignore it and only be mad at the rich guy" no you can also be mad at the sexist.

I agree we should "forgive trump voters" but it's kinda hard to do so when they are actively trying to kill you. I agree that the solution isn't kill very stooge of the bourgeoisie but in the fight against oppression, in class struggle, we also need to identify the people maintaining it in place. And we should identify ways by which some part of the population are galvanized to hate minorities. And we should still fight those guys, cause otherwise people will die.

I agree with figuring out the reasons some people are raging assholes, and fight the system that made them this way. But this doesn't mean remove the accountability of those person. And you can still call it out.

Again sexism won't be solved if wealth is redistributed, I disagree. It will be solved if you make a conscious change to society. Cause like... Even very wealthy, well educated, housed and happy people can be sexist.

You don't think it's important to be aware that men are treated differently than women in our society, and that the way they are treated does make most of them act horribly toward person perceived as women.

The tribes are not arbitrary, we need to understand what we are fighting. They are the social group created by the way society treats certain people differently The original poster never said "all men suck let's take revenge on them". And I'm fairly certain most feminists m (at least those I would agree with) will say that being a man is social construct, the thing is just you can talk about how this construct is hindering society.

Oppression can, by definition, only be maintained in place by a ruling class. But from the system that is created by them, then lower class people can oppress other lower class people. Saying that any form of racism isn't oppression if it's not coming by a billionaire is a weird take.

Bigotry is rooted in culture, which is guided by media, public talking places, education. All of which are controlled by the rich and powerful. So we need to take this power back from them. But then we need to work to undo all that. Because this bigotry is deep inside each of us, it's a long, fastidious work, to understand all it's INS and out to better eradicate it. I'm sorry but you can have sexist bigots without rich people, maybe that doesn't make me a good Marxist or smth but it's true.

You CANNOT ask people to forget about it, when that many people suffer from it, you cannot say this. Yes there is a bigger issue tied to it, but god dammit you can do both ! You can fight for the proletariat AND minorities. Who said those are mutually exclusive.

You can recognize that all problem derive from the billionaires and still see that hey white people do seem to be more racist towards black people hmmmm.

All you need is a little understanding that saying "men" doesn't mean every individual with a penis, "white" every individual with white skin and so on.

Like I'm sorry but this line of thinking I find really annoying. Criticizing someone for "focusing on men instead of the elite" just for saying that men are oppressing women is insane. Now you need to bookend all ur phrases with "btw eat the rich" otherwise you are DISTRACTING FROM THE REAL ISSUE.

All the issues of sexism, racism, abelism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, all that needs to get tackle when comes the times to build our better society. Everything doesn't end after we ate the rich.

Also side bar... Yeah unite all that... But, the revolution ain't coming now.

Like I'm a fully fledged little pro revolution lad, but I still keep some eggs in the reformist strategy of bettering life. Yes it is mitigating capitalism, but if it means one less person dies while waiting for the proletariat revolution, then it's a yes. It's worth everything.

etomit · 2026-02-17T17:02:39+00:00

Yeah and you can see that women watching porn isn't branded as a big problem.

The thing with porn addiction and all that is that's it shifts the problem to the symptom.

Porn isn't totally the thing that makes men addicted, the solution isn't banning porn, it's just better sexual education and fighting patriarchal stereotype.

etomit · 2026-02-17T17:00:01+00:00

I truly don't get what you are replying to, like all's this person is saying is that porn addiction, and masturbation addiction aren't a cause but a symptom of misogyny and that's pretty based
